How to edit auto correct in mail

After some use Mail auto correct dictionaty gets occassinally confused with custom words. I would like to know how do I locate and edit the custom dictionary.

Same problem here too. Maybe it happened with last update, did not seem to happen before. Also, all my online mail boxes have this going on...
message -> move to -> archive -> online name (all mail)
with these exceptions. My msn and yahoo accounts do not show at all and my 'on my mac' shows twice, once at the top and once at the bottom. I think all 3 of these are pop3 accounts, if that makes a difference....
Another weird thing is my msn account does not not show in the dropdown of 'move to' or 'copy to'

How to edit out multiple ipad mail addresses

How to edit out multiple ipad mail addresses

How do you mean? the yahoo app? or accessing via safari? or using the mail app?
Using the mail app there is no way to sign out of mail accounts. The presumption is that the iPad is a single user device, so no need to sign out.

How do I auto-correct "i" to a capital "I" in Mail

When typing in a Mail message, I want to auto-correct "i" to a capitalised "I". Auto-correct won't allow this as it keeps telling me "The original text must contain at least two characters"
Anyone have any ideas of a way around this?
Thanks
Stewart

Thanks Arthur, you are very helpful.
I was hoping that there was a way in the system to do it. It just seems crazy that something so simple can't be achieved with the sophistication that we call Apple.
Does Apple ever look in here ?

Can't figure out how to edit a Draft e-mail message--simple, right? Wrong.

OK, sorry if this is too basic and belongs in the Getting Started folder, but I couldn't find the problem here or in that location.
I thought I could figure out how to edit a message in the Drafts folder. I tried; it didn't work. I looked online, found a tutorial, which showed that I was indeed trying to do the right thing the right way. So why doesn't it work????
Here's what happens.
I start an e-mail message, click Cancel, then save as a Draft. That works fine. But then...
From the Home screen, I tap Mail.
On the Mailboxes screen, I tap Drafts (there's a number on the right -- 2 -- which disagrees with the number of messages actually seen -- 1 -- at the next step; I don't know if that's an important detail or not).
I see the draft message I want to edit. I tap it.
I tap Edit. According to the tutorial, the message is supposed to open up for me to edit further. But it doesn't. Instead...
The two lines representing the message (Recipient and first few words) move a bit to the right, and the Edit button changes to Cancel.
A dull red Delete button and a blue-gray Move button show up at the bottom. But the first line of the draft message, which has (accurately) shown up under the boldface "(No Recipient)" line, stays where it is -- showing as part of an entry in the list but not as something I can edit. I don't see the complete message, and I can't edit anything, even though I think I have just entered an Edit mode.
I click those two lines, and a red checkmark appears on the left, and the dull buttons at the bottom become brighter red and brighter blue-gray.
Tapping, double-tapping, tap-and-holding... all just toggle that checkmark on and off.
THIS MUST BE REALLY SIMPLE... HOW DO I EDIT THE TEXT OF THE DRAFT MESSAGE????

Zero replies??? Wow, I guess this is a really uncommon problem.
Well, the Genius Bar fixed the problem. They confirmed that it WAS real, and they couldn't figure out how it had gotten that way. There must have been some internal list in an inconsistent state... or something.
The fix was to deactivate my MobileMe account on my iPhone -- just wipe it out. Then they re-activated it. Everything re-synched and the problem was gone.

Edit "auto correct"?

For some reason, the word "website" expands to "Web site" whenever I type it in Mail or Pages. I can't for the life of me figure out how to edit this out - I do NOT want this expansion. Help?
Thanks.

This worked with my Mini, but I've since gotten a Macbook Air. That, obviously, has nothing to do with the problem. But, nonetheless, the problems is back in all apps: I want to type "website" but my computer automatically expands it to "Web site". None of the "learn" features works. Help, someone...

Try tapping on or near the word and see if you can make an a adjustment.!

How to turn auto-correction the opposit way?

The auto-correction Works the way that I as a user has to recject the suggestion from the system, if not, the suggestion will be put into mytext. This is really anoying and completeley unlogical to me. It should be the way that I should actively chose the suggestion, if not, my own text should be prefered. Is there a way to turn this upside down the way that the system's suggestion only reamin as a suggestion until I actively chose it? In case not, why not?

to do that you need to go back to Pages 4

How do I turn off the Auto Correct in Spell Checker

I turned this on thinking I would like it but now it is driving me nuts because I can't turn it off. When I go back into Edit/Spelling & Grammar, all of my options are grayed out. I can see where it auto correction is checked to turn it on but it is grayed out so I can't turn it off.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Which application are you referring to? Mail? If it's Mail, go to Preferences, click on composing, and choose "never" under Check Spelling. If it's a different application, please let us know which one it is; in most cases, you should have options in that app's preferences.
This is in Apple Mail.
Actually the command comes under the "Edit/Spelling and Grammar" menu and as I mentioned, all the options, one of which is auto correct, are grayed out and therefore not accessible to me.

Please can someone tell me how to swtch off the auto correct spell check option?

Can someone please explain to me how to turn off the auto spell check option? the one when it auto corrects? thanks! im desperate!

I believe that you turn off that spelling feature in the individual program that you use. Go to the edit menu of the application being used and see if there is a spelling feature listed. If there isn't, it may be that this feature is an integral part of the application and is located in the preferences, and you'll find it there. This would need to be done for each program you want to use that is bothering you with auto spelling correction. I don't believe there's a general setting for autocorrect that works across programs.
